Help Independent non-profit presses keep literary voices diverse!

Jess Bowe, also known as Jess Ptak or The Sweet Slow, is a lifelong poet and teaching artist. Much of her work contemplates the threads of motherhood, womanhood, and the quiet sacred of every day life. Jess brings poetry to events and gatherings across the Hudson Valley and beyond, typing poems on-the-spot on her vintage manual typewriter. The author of four poetry collections and two new creations-in-process, she’s most recently written poems at Steepletop’s Centennial Celebration, live from Edna St. Vincent Millay’s writing cabin in Austerlitz, NY. Jess facilitates a virtual writing group, called The Circle, and hosts several poetry workshops throughout the year.

Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words, accompanied by a cohort of fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 200 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
